The determination seems to me that the $70 entrance fee is as high as they could go before hitting the the $80 annual fee for entrance to all parks. Why didn't they raise the annual fee also? Can't imagine why they'd want to push people to annual fees, but there might be something there.

So, apparantly they just used the same numbers as last year and increased the revenue from those parks to meet the need. They said we are short x amount of money. How much would we need to raise the money coming in from the highest visited parks in order to meet the gap, using the numbers from last year. They didnt account for less visits from what I have heard.--Brian McGoughOn Sat, Nov 4, 2017 at 10:43 AM, Yambag Nelson <northstreetwreckingcrew@gmail.com> wrote:I would just love to know how the determination was made to do this.

But that additional $70 million would be a pretty poor offset to President Donald Trump's $300 million cuts to NPS announced in his 2018 budget plan earlier this year. And it would be an even feebler response to the Park Service's reported $12 billion maintenance backlog.
Apparently a big portion of that backlog is the concessionaires needing to update their hot dog stands.
